How Did Mr Krabs Die in SpongeBob SquarePants and Who Killed Him?

Apart from SpongeBob himself, others well-known in SpongeBob SquarePants include the likes of Mr. Krabs. There has been some talk about him dying but this is not true. Mr. Krabs is not dead. However, there is a task from a school that went viral in which Mr. Krabs dies. This was after he was stabbed in the throat with a metal.

How Mr. Krabs Died

Owner of the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs, has plenty of money but is ungenerous. He is also greedy as well. As we have said above, Mr. Krabs is alive and well in SpongeBob SquarePants. However, when you read the school task, the Trial of SpongeBob SquarePants document, it is said that he died.

How did this happen? Mr. Krabs was stabbed on the throat with a cooking implement and left in a pool of his own blood at the Krusty Krab. The door to the Krusty Krab was not broken down but the place where cash is kept was emptied. Also taken was the formula for the Krabby Patty.

Who Killed Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob SquarePants?

As we have said above, Mr. Krabs is not really dead. It is only in a school task that he kicked the bucket. He was murdered in the scenario created there with many suspects thrown up. Some say Mr. Krabs may have slipped and fallen as the floor of the Krusty Krab is greasy. But, this is not likely. A slip cannot cause injury to his throat.

Some say SpongeBob may have killed Mr. Krabs. He had worked for the man for such a long time and wanted to be given a raise but that did not happen. In fact, the day that Mr. Krabs was found dead, SpongeBob came to his boss to ask for a raise again but the man refused so he said he was quitting.

Also, SpongeBob was having money troubles and his house was about to be taken over so he was desperate. We must also remember that he has the keys to the eating house and knows the numbers for opening the safe. So, he had the tools for the crime.

Fingers have also been pointed at Sheldon Plankton who has an eating house that is not as successful as the Krusty Krab. For the longest time, he has been trying to steal Mr. Krabs’ secret recipes. So, that is his motivation. Also, after Mr. Krabs died, Plankton soon started selling burgers that tasted just like something from the Krusty Krab. Of course, he denied being responsible but his home was searched and nothing concrete was found.

On the other hand, a spatula with traces of Mr. Krabs’ blood as well as his and SpongeBob’s fingerprints was found in the house of SpongeBob.

 

In What Episode Did Mr. Krabs Die?

As we have said above, Mr. Krabs did not actually die in SpongeBob SquarePants. It was only in the classroom activity that gained attention online that he died.

It is from a public school in Springfield, Illinois, that this assignment came from. The fuller version tells the class to divide themselves into defense and prosecution teams for each of the suspected persons.

So, Mr. Krabs is alive and well within the actual series. The Trial of SpongeBob SquarePants document is simply a game or activity designed for educational purposes.

Who is Mr. Krabs’ Voice Actor?

Clancy Brown has been voicing Mr. Krabs from the very beginning of SpongeBob to this day i.e. since 1999. Also, anytime that there is a spin-off where Mr. Krabs will come out, then he voices it as well. Some of these spin-offs are The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.

Clancy Brown is not just good at voice acting. You can see him in films like Bad Boys, The Shawshank Redemption, and John Wick 4. Brown came up with the voice he uses for Mr. Krabs during his audition and describes it as “pirates,” with “a little Scottish brogue.” He loves voicing the role. He told the New York Post in 2015 “I wouldn’t mind doing [the voice] until the end of time. There’s just no corollary in live-action work—television or films or anything—to playing a miserly crab on the bottom of the ocean.”

What Was Mr. Krabs’ Occupation?

Mr. Krabs is a businessman and restaurateur. He owns the Krusty Krab eating place and this is where SpongeBob works. The Krusty Krab has a Krabby Patty sandwich that so many people love. Mr. Krab has the secret recipe and never parts with it.

Mr. Krabs has made and continues to make lots of money from his eating house but he is stingy. He wants to pass down the restaurant to his daughter, Pearl.
